On October 31, Edison High held its annual Halloween Costume Contest. This event has allowed students to compete for the first-place prize of a $20 gift card while showing off their Halloween spirit.
Students who received a golden ticket for their costumes went to the auditorium during Period 2. Grades were called one by one to line up and walk on the stage, and the student audience applauded as their fellow classmates displayed their outfits.
“I loved the contest! I loved seeing all the costumes and met many very nice people,” said Madison Rodriguez ‘29, a participant in the competition.
This contest brought the EHS community together as participants met new people and shared their love for Halloween. Each grade was seen talking amongst each other, discussing the thought process behind their costumes.
